That does sound frustrating — waking up with a migraine that just won't budge all day is exhausting, both physically and emotionally. You're definitely not alone in this experience.

Morning migraines are actually quite common, with about half of all migraine attacks happening between 4 a.m. and 9 a.m. Many MyMigraineTeam members have shared similar stories of waking up with stubborn migraines that seem to have a mind of their own. The sun-going-down pattern is interesting and could point to a few things worth exploring with your doctor:

- Light sensitivity (photophobia) is extremely common with migraines — bright daylight could be prolonging or intensifying the attack
- Weather or temperature changes that occur as the day cools toward evening might be playing a role
- Morning migraines can sometimes be triggered the night before, meaning the migraine cycle may naturally run its course by evening

It's worth keeping a migraine diary to track these patterns. Noting what you ate, sleep quality, and weather changes the day before could help identify a trigger. Sharing this with your doctor may help find a better management approach for this specific migraine type.
